The Crew has re-signed forward Jairo Arrieta.

The native of Costa Rica scored nine goals in 18 games after being added during the 2012 season
but slumped as a sophomore. National-team call-ups and inconsistent play resulted in three goals in
26 appearances, and new coach and sporting director Gregg Berhalter did not exercise Arrieta's 2014
option.

Exact figures were not released, but Arrieta is believed to have taken a pay cut in order to
return. His guaranteed salary of $225,375 was fifth-highest on the team.

Arrieta broke the news early on Twitter when he told his followers, "I'm proud to tell you that
I'll stay at @ColumbusCrew one more year. I'll give my best to be champions. See you soon"
